The home
About 121 Garnet Avenue
From its white-picket fence to the rooftop deck with water views, this quintessential island cottage radiates charm. Bright and beachy interiors have been recently remodeled to include full ‘smart home’ automation with Nest Thermostat and Ring door systems as well as an invisible pet fence system bordering the property. A cheerful yellow Dutch door provides entry to the thoughtfully rearranged interiors, where an open floor plan and multiple exterior doors effortlessly blend indoor/outdoor living spaces. Every detail of the residence feels welcoming and intimate, a result of the careful choice of materials and finishes including hardwood floors, stone patios, shiplap accents, custom millwork, and rustic limestone backsplash in the chef’s kitchen fit with Wolf, SubZero, and Bosch appliances. A stairwell as beautiful as it is functional leads to the second level which reveals a bonus living space, exercise room or den, and three spacious bedrooms including the master suite with office nook, open ceilings displaying artfully installed wood trusses, and sparkling spa bath with expansive sink/vanity area, showpiece soaking tub, heated floors and oversized shower with multiple shower heads. A wet bar on the third level and access to the spacious rooftop deck complete this thoughtfully designed home. A designated laundry room, EV charging in the garage, La Cantina folding doors and a built-in BBQ are evidence that no detail was overlooked in creating this special coastal residence.
